Ingredients
16 oz cream cheese, softened to room temperature
1/2 cup powdered sugar
1 tsp pure vanilla extract
1/2 cup graham cracker crumbs
1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
Fresh berries for garnish
Instructions
Prepare the crust by combining graham cracker crumbs and melted butter in a small bowl.
Press the crumb mixture firmly into the bottom of an 8×8 inch pan lined with parchment paper.
Place the pan in the freezer to set while you prepare the filling.
In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until the mixture is light, airy, and smooth.
Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the chilled crust using a spatula.
Smooth the top until flat and glossy.
Place the pan in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours to set properly.
Once firm, lift the parchment paper out of the pan and slice the cheesecake into 16 uniform squares.
Top each bite with a fresh berry before serving.
